The 7th Guest VR is a fun if quite conservative puzzle game that's been translated tremendously well into VR. The space you explore is very enjoyable in a spooky, haunted house way. The VR controls are mostly implemented very well, with only a handful being rather fiddly.
Where the game absolutely falls down is in the endgame, which drops the puzzle gameplay in favour of a cheesy, luck-based Parcheesi-style game that takes 20-30 minutes and doesn't take advantage of VR at all. It's almost as if a different developer came in to do the final bit, and it leaves a bad taste - but other than that? Very enjoyable, if you're looking for something spooky and puzzly that tickles your grey cells but doesn't become too hard in the process. (And those paintings that change in the light of your magic lantern? Love 'em!)

It's a nice game.
I nearly didn't buy it because I can't stand horror games and much less in VR but it's mostly a mystery game with no jump scares.
Puzzles are fine, not too easy, neither too difficult. Puzzles are are contained in each room so no need to keep track of objects o clues hidden in different places.
I bought it with a 40% discount (18€) and took me around 6 hours to play it.
It didn't play the original game but this one, in VR it's worth it

This game was a great remake of the original 7th game.
This developer has updated the classic puzzle game into a modern masterpiece. The original game had great puzzles it was marred by technical limitations (Lots of the plot was actually cut due to "Technical Limitations".)
While the original story was a confusing mess, the updated game manages to recreate the great atmosphere, have a ton of great lore fitting puzzles and tell a coherent story. All of the guests feel more fleshed out and their motives are more clear.
This is one of the best VR experience that I have played, Staufs Mansion is fully intractable, creepy and fun to explore. It was a shame that there was no Flat Version, this would have been a best seller and reached more fans.
Hopefully Vertigo Games keeps making VR games.

Hands down, one of the best games of its kind I’ve ever played. Somewhere between an escape room and a point-and-click, it offers an immersive experience beyond measure, with carefully crafted graphics, engaging acting, and incredibly believable characters; just what you’d expect in a classic manor-thriller. The setting and atmosphere are simply perfect, and the story is original, occasionally moving, and well-structured. I couldn’t ask for more.
In case anyone’s wondering, the game has no jumpscares, although there were a couple of moments where I had the uncontrollable urge to take off my headset (spiders, anyone? And yes, you actually have to interact with them… and I’m arachnophobic!)
It’s a real shame it’s already over, I could have played for many hours more. I wish there were more games like this. I don’t think I ever needed any hints, which means the puzzles were never frustrating, though they weren’t super easy either. (For some calculation-based puzzles, like filling chessboards or predicting the opponent’s moves, I relied on my calculator-minded partner, as I’m hopelessly bad at this!)
Highly recommended, a feast for the eyes and ears. There are some lag issues when opening doors, which can cause motion sickness over time (we took turns playing in half-hour sessions to avoid feeling unwell), but it’s probably more due to our hardware than the game itself (we’re playing on Steam with Oculus Link on an older Oculus Quest).
On a bitter note, so sad to see that no translator was mentioned in the credits, Localsoft being the only one displayed. Support your translators, they're incredibly valuable! Show them the due respect! #TranslatorsInTheCredits
Did I mention it was amazing? BUY IT!

Great atmosphere & revival of a classic. It strikes an interesting balance of the old-school feel of 90s FMV games and modern VR.
The volumetric recordings feel like actual "video" that you can look at from all perspectives, if that makes any sense - they provide a noticeably different type of experience from flat videos and regular 3d animations. Really cool.
Interaction with objects and puzzles is a bit clunky at times, and overall there is some jank, but considering the comparatively small and large ambition team behind it, this is nothing that spoils the experience as a whole.
The puzzles are, for me, a good balance of being casual enough to solve without hints, while still giving you a sense of having figured out a clever solution, with only one puzzle being a bit tedious.
Overall, well worth the price and a reasonably unique and pretty fun experience.

Fantastic adventure, one of the best VR titles I've played. It is a very faithful reimagining of the original game. The atmosphere is just perfect and puzzles have been adapted to VR. Can't recommend it enough.

The 4D volumetric performance capture was pretty cool! Feels like a natural evolution of the old FMV cutscene format more-so than using rigged models does.
